[jira] [Updated] (CASSANDRA-4449) Make prepared statement global rather than connection based

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4449?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sylvain Lebresne updated CASSANDRA-4449:
----------------------------------------

    Attachment: 4449.txt

Attaching patch that:
# make prepared statement global for the binary protocol. I've kept backward compatibility on the thrift side to be conservative.
# for the binary protocol, switch the hash used as statement ID to md5, because I don't trust String.hashCode() enough (and I don't think there is guarantees that it cannot change between java versions).

I'd *really* like to get that in for 1.2 because I think that having per-connection statement makes it very painful for clients library that want to hide the details of how they perform connection pooling.

> Currently, prepared statements are connection based. A client can only use a prepared statement on the connection it prepared it on, and if you prepare the same prepared statement on multiple connections, we'll keep multiple times the same prepared statement. This is potentially inefficient but can also be fairly painful for client libraries with pool of connections (a.k.a all reasonable client library ever) as this means you need to make sure you prepare statement on every connection of the pool, including the connection that don't exist yet but might be created later.
> This ticket suggests making prepared statement global (at least for CQL3), i.e. move them out of ClientState. This will likely reduce the number of stored statement on a given node quite a bit, since it's very likely that all clients to a given node will prepare the same statements (and potentially on all of their connection with the node). And given that prepared statement identifiers are the hashCode() of the string, this should be fairly trivial.
> I will note that while I think using a hash of the string as identifier is a very good idea, I don't know if the default java hashCode() is good enough. If that's a concern, maybe we should use a safer (bug longer) hash like md5 or sha1. But we'd better do that now.
